Bob the Builder

Sleep

Elliott slept well and with minimal fuss after lunch. He went and got straight into bed at about 1.45pm and had a medium nap for about an hour and a half.

He went to bed at 8pm with no problems.

Food

Elliott had toast for breakfast.

He had fish fingers, (not very many) potatoes and (even fewer) peas for lunch with a yoghurt pudding and got on with eating straight away.

For tea he had corn flakes.

He also had 2 biscuits during the day as I wanted to ration them, however in the afternoon he was on the verge of throwing a tantrum for more until I distracted him with a football.

Toilet

Elliott had no "dirty" nappies today while with me.

He sat on his potty well during nappy changes and before bath time - and another wee before bathtime which was brilliant and got lots of kisses. Hopefully he's beginning to get there. Anyway my new toilet seat should arrive soon so can get into the actual sitting on toilet routine. 

Naughtiness

No time outs needed today and he was really good overall, especially with workmen in the house - but he did come close to a strop over biscuits as mentioned above.

Activities

We had a quiet day today because 2 men came round first thing to finally fix my heating. Unfortunately this took them about 3 hours, which meant we missed our swimming slot - this was disappointing. But we did manage to venture outside to the park after his nap for a little exercise.

Anyway normal mix of toys, books and TV during the day. Particularly of note I think was that Elliott got very good at identifying animals on the gruffalo cards he got for Christmas. These are based on The Gruffalo and have lots of animals for snap / rhyming snap when he is a little older, but he really loved them.

He also became fascinated by the men fixing the boiler at one point who I referred to as "Bob The Builder" - and he watched what they were doing for ages, though wouldn't approach them too closely.

And there was a very proud moment just before bed for me because I've bought him some batman pyjamas and it was his first time wearing them.

No photos from today this time.
